Following an orientation, we travel by the Molle series of islands as we traverse Whitsunday Passage. to Nara Inlet along the southern tip of Hook Island. This is a lovely bay that is well-protected, tranquil, and stable for a good night’s sleep.
Once reaching the overnight anchorage, there is plenty of time to go swimming in the warm, tropical ocean that has been bathed in the sun. Enjoy a lovely steamed fish dinner as the day turns into the evening. And unwind with a couple drinks in the evening on the lovely wooden decks.
The evening is spent relaxing, chatting, and playing games. And on the majority of trips, dolphins come to hunt and play in the fish spotlight on the Horizon. These magnificent beings serve as unpaid crew members by providing entertainment for everyone on board. They typically spend the entire night next to the boat, playfully chasing other sea creatures.
Second, at 6 a.m., the boat departs for Whitehaven Beach, where passengers are welcomed with a full continental breakfast that includes a delectable fresh fruit buffet with honey and yoghurt. As we sail, the New Horizon guests are awakened. Before 8 a.m., the Horizon lands at Whitehaven.

After a full day of activity, it’s time to refresh while our chef whips up some afternoon treats.
Once more, our seasoned crew hoists the sails for a beautiful sunset sail to the overnight anchorage. We aim to catch the sunset if there is time. On a very wonderful island named Langford, on a lovely sandy spit! We end the day with an engaging, humorous, and educational chart read, which details our past activities for all of the visitors.
